Here's some dried psilocybe Azurescens for future reference.








As for yours I don't identify dried mushrooms sorry I hope you get an answer. I don't like how they look but that doesn't mean they're not.

And get spore prints next time they're like the most important thing. Tbh they look like some sort of very healthy Armillaria with unhealthy Tubaria but that's just me.

 Adden,
Thank you for taking the time to respond, much appreciated. Yeah they appeared just a little off to me as well, but was thinking possibly due to it being slightly colder and wetter this year and much later than i have ever picked. My gut says they're right but want that 100%! I transplanted a couple pins not sure if that will help any more than looking at dried. They actually look identical to the dried ones you have pictured in the jar.? i included a pic of a spore print however only half showed up in print for whatever reason.? When hunting several of the smaller shrooms had deep purple/brown spore prints left on the cap. I have picked for many years just not Azurecens or in that environment, which is what leaves that little bit of doubt, that and not heavily bluing. maybe if i sent some of the other photo's despite being dry it will help along with any other info i can provide, it could help get an ID.
thanks ctdd

Your mushrooms look like Hypholoma, please don't eat them. If you want to be 100% make sure you pick fresher mushrooms.

Appreciate all the feedback! definitely will respect and value what the trusted ID'ers say. I will not eat a single bite without a positive ID. I did pick freshies, however no phone to take pics (accidently left at home, which i never do) And I wasn't able to get any pics for ID request until it was too late. I will research more Microscopically before jumping in, don't know how that's done but.... more research and more time. LOL! or I bag it altogether.

No problem. This is what they look like when it gets toward the end of a season. Azures will pop once more between the freeze and the first.

So I guess if you can picture those at 1/10th the size and spindly weak stems that's them. There's distinct blue around the cap on some. Or the Azures now are climbing up deep from pine needle beds and layered grasses so you'll see stems as long as your middle finger (or longer). They often look gray. And you've gotta hold them like you'd hold a butterfly.
I bet azures right now look better in other places, but that was some of my haul today.
Sorry for the double post. Mobile is giving me issues adding characters to my post. I wonder if Ythan is playing with stuff or my keyboard is dead lol.

Ugh I always mix Hypholoma and Tubaria up because a picking buddy would say it and point every time he saw them. Tubaria were "oh Hypholoma" and hypho was "nope just tubaria".
